Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) Google Camera Port or Custom ROMS - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

So, I've tried so many Pixel Camera ports for my latest Samsung Galaxy A9, but none of it seems to work. I've literally installed and tried more than 30-40 ports but none of them worked. They install properly but force close as soon as I open the app. I really want to see if using the Pixel Camera app will increase the picture quality.
Details about device:
OS: Android 8.0
Processor: SD660
RAM: 8GB
Any more needed information I'm happy to share

Sir What to edit please tell us the complete procedure

You need to enable api2 on build.prop to make it work

How do I enable api2 on build.prop to make it work?

First you need root access to edit build.prop
Then add this line to file:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
(Maybe the line is there but with =0, just replace 0 for 1)
Then save and reboot.

Is the first Samsung from mew models witch i hear that needs root....?

Seems like we won't be able to make GCam work until we won't get Android 10 update, I tried many many many many ways of getting GCam work, I changed build.prop, tried over 50+ camera's, executed many commands on ADB, none of it works for us now. So... Let's wait for Andoird 10.

I don't think you can either or you have found something that works for us (I think buying this device has been the worst and expensive investment)

Screen Mirroring does NOT work when System is in Custom Status. We need a fix PPL!?

Hi,
I have the SM-i900 Version with the snapdagon s801 x Quad Core, Qualcomm_LTE.
Guys, Screen Mirroring does NOT work when you are in Custom Status, this happened to be the same story when I googled and found S4 users had the same issue, was the same post after post after post of people stating the same thing "I get an error or hardware device error when screen mirror starts" or "It will start for 4 seconds then stop"
I have tried Triangle away, this did nothing.Kernel makers, Devs, wizards. Can you guys whip up something for this, it has nothing to do with Knox I don't care about knox. The problem is when you flash custom kernel it will give your phone custom status. Offcourse I can get official status if I flash the original kernel, but then whats the point of having an android if you cant tweak it. I mean Its kind of ridiculous not being able to run one of the BEST features of future tech "Screen Mirror" This has SO MANY uses its crazy not to be able to use it.
Can anyone direct me or maybe help find a way, this is for all of u, one day when you need to use it you will be asking Same question if you love tweaking your rom, you would not want to flash everything back to stock just so you can use that feature.
Ok Guys I found something -
So I grabbed the S800 Version as it was the closest to the S5 S801 I replaced the the file, First it reboot when I started Screen mirroring, then I tried it again and guess what? This time it actually worked and it mirrored my device onto the TV and then I see FC >> Allshare cast S/W Update
This is the update that is in the playstore, which gets updated automatically.
Anyway I can tell it doesnt work 100% so I removed it again.
I think we are very close to solving this problem, If we can somehow port this file to a S801 Version then I bet you Screen mirror will work.
Here is the File fix which was created for the S4 - I9506 S800 ---- http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...7&d=1409380066 From the same link I pasted below
I wonder if this can be ported to the S5 I dont think it should be that hard with the right tools.
Here is the S5 S805 Version https://www.dropbox.com/s/bpqtkskqcc...ht_wfd.so?dl=0
It will be greatly appreciated if someone was able to do it.
What I found out it is all about HDCP. and turning it off, I think its the same thing as Enforcing Selinux , If I was able to decompile a *.SO file in Windows I think I may have chance to do this myself.

Hi,

Camera 2 api

Hello i'd like to ask about improve camera quality, can the device activate camera 2 api to get manual control of camera?
I've tried to edit build.prop by added "persist.camera.HAL3.enable=1" but it's not work properly.
This method work only with 7.x android version. The actually miui is 6.x. If you want active camera 2 api, need unofficial aosp repo wit android 7.x.
There is an apk that work in miui, i search now... if i find it, i will send to you.
Ok thanks bro, i hope it find soon

Google Camera

Dear All,
I've gone through various threads just to realize that there's not one APK for Google camera which works perfectly on One Plus 5.
I'd greatly appreciate if anyone here can help me with a perfectly working GC APK link.
Note: I'm running my OP 5 on stock ROM.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I recomend this apk: LINK

Sorry the last link it's wrong.
Correct link: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-test-9.apk
GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-test-9.apk
For me its the best version of all apks and dont need any configuration only you need install .
None work flawlessly, and unless OP makes some changes it won't be possible to have a fully functional GCam without system changes (root or at least an unlocked bootloader would be required). The camera library files from OP are 'customized' in ways that make them not fully compatible with the Camera2 API that GCam depends on. Devs here have been working hard to band-aid it, but only so much can be done by modding the GCam apk to work around the libs. Changing the libs to match GCams needs currently breaks compatibility with OP features (Face Unlock specifically). The ideal for us as users is that OP updates the libs to support full Camera2 and also keeps their own propriety additions in place so that everything can work.
Sorry, front camera in portrait mode or HDR+ make an horrible pink images with lines.
Really frustrated.
Back camera with portrait and HDR+ works fine; the problem starts with frontal camera
I'm the only?
The modded GCam app is horrible, portrait mode not working, slow motion as well and the image quality is worse
Check this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76543768&postcount=2927
If you install the magisk/twrp mod for front cam and hdr+ fix with pixel2mod 7beta9 (file name GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7.9.apk), you actually have an almost fully working (and arguably better than oos) camera app. Only thing remains missing is the slowmo and 60fps video modes, which you can still achieve using the oos camera.

Google Camera MOD - any available?

I'm trying to install Google Camera. So far, I've tried BSG versions , a few of them, all 32 bit of course (made for Android 6+). You can finde the list at celsoazevedo website, filter for BSG and look up for 3.2
None of them has worked, I can install the app, I can run it, I can record video but when I switch to camera mode I only see a black window and it freezes. I can even access the settings.
What can I do? Is it because S5 doesn't have Camera2 API? Is there a solution? I'd really like to use Gcam, even if it'd be a super old version, cause the stock camera of Resurrection Remix ROM is really bad
Thank you

Thank you so much man, it's working
I wanted to try Gcam cause everyone says it's really good. I know the latest versions are much much better because of many factors, but I guess this old version is still better than the custom ROM stock ones.
I'll also try open camera, thanks
Works on G900F / G900FD ?

Need some Information about similar RSNav S3 Devices

Hello everyone!
Ive bought a RSNav S3 Head Unit System for my Audi A4 B8 2010.
Im trying to find out a few things of the device to root it and cusomize some things in the system. (Root, TWRP, Key mapping, MCU modification)
Do you know a device which is similar to the S3 Board i have? It could be that the Devices uses the same Software and MCU as other devices. I found some Strings in the System APKs where other Car brands pop up.
I have the complete Firmware of the Device (no source) and an update File for the MCU (.mce).
Here are some Specs:
Qualcomm MSM8953/Snapdragon 450
4Gigs Ram
64Gigs Rom
10.25Inch Screen 1920x780p
No Hardware Keys (except hidden Reset Button)
No ADB USB Port (someone said that its hidden in the case)
https://rsnav.com/collections/s3-an...system-for-audi-b8-a4-s4-rs4-a5-s5-rs5-q5-sq5
I've attached some Images of the UI
Maybe somebody can help me
So I found out something of the device.
There's a Quectel Sc600y build in. Also there's a pinout four a debugging usb port. But when I connect a USB Cabel to it, windows says that the device is faulty and can not be detected.
Must it be enabled in firmware? Can someone help me pls
Hi.
Any news? Will receive my S3 unit soon too.
No, nothing found yet.
I've done some research in this. Most of the Apps Uses Programm Parts called "com.mct" or "com.hc". But i didnt find somting about that on google.
I've seen launchers which look pretty similar to the S2/S3 launcher of RSNav. But dont found someting about them too.
Also Magisk is not available for that atm.
So i was able to root the S3 Device.
I will create a script/guide soon.
Found out that the MCU must be integrated in the System under /dev/ttyHSL2. But atm im unable to read messages from it. Baudrate is set right, but i only get cryptic messages.
Maybe someone has an idea how to read it right.
Hi mate, I'm interested if you can share how you rooted your S3 unit. I will receive mine soon and I would like also to root it. ty
You can get the Script here:
